I was born in rural Texas in 1957. I drifted through life without much purpose until I joined the Air Force in 1979. I was a technician and worked on the navigation systems of B-52G bomber and the KC-135 tanker. I left the Air Force in 1983. I got a Associate degree in Electronics in Waco, Texas and went to work for a defense contractor in Dallas. I have been there ever since.

I went part time to the University of Texas at Dallas and graduated with a BS in Economics and Finance.

My life really started in 1996 when I got married. I have been happy ever since. I have one child. A wonderful daughter. I enjoy my vacations with my wife and daughter to Las Vegas.
